A Gift from Mother Dark

A Gift from Mother Dark

Approach, Daughter, and be not afraid. You know me by many names, Oya, Cybele, Kali, Isis, Aphrodite, Sophia, Hecate, Lilith, Inanna. I am the Void, the Dark Goddess, I was, before time and space existed, I am your Mother. This evening, we will journey into the heart of my realm, the Womb of Mother Night.

Close your eyes, relax, and breathe deeply, slowly, gently. Feel the world slipping away as you sink further into yourself. Relax and continue breathing deeply and gently as we enter the Darkness.

It is the dark of the longest night.

It is the dark of the primordial void.

It is the dark of the sea and rich earth.

It is the dark of my Womb.

This Darkness is a safe place, feel my embrace surround you; know you are protected within the Darkness, within my Womb.

You sense a quickening, and suddenly, a spark of life, of light, emerges from the void. Focus on this light, watch it grow stronger, watch it glow brighter. As you continue looking at this light, allow it to fill you with warmth and love. And as you feel warmth and love grow within you, the light begins to fade, leaving in its place a Yuletide present, my gift to you.

As you approach this gift, what do you notice? What colour is the wrapping? Is there an inscription? What is its shape? Is it heavy or light?

When you are ready, open your gift.

Spend some time with your gift and experience it fully.

Accept your gift with joy and gratitude. Feel the warmth and love which this gift has given you. What will you do with this gift? Will you manifest it into the world or hold it close to your heart? This is my gift to you, to do with as you wish, a gift from Mother to Daughter.

It is time for you to leave the warmth of my Womb, but know you can return to the darkness whenever you need to feel nurturing and love.
